Hôtel XIXe Siècle

In English, the name translates to "Hotel 19th Century," which is apt, as the building began life in 1870 as a bank (three vaults remain and one is now a small guest room) in the Second Empire style; its interior reflects these stately origins, starting with a lobby that looks like a Victorian library. This tidy little hotel is worth seeking out for its central location and quiet demeanor. Rooms are spacious, with 4.5m (15-ft.) ceilings and spacious working areas. Rooms facing the nondescript inner courtyard may not be scenic, but they're nearly silent and a dream for light sleepers. Twenty rooms on the first and second floors were renovated in 2008. Despite its faintly aristocratic air, the hotel gives nods to green living, with energy-saving light bulbs and recycling buckets in each room.
